Why Aerate Your Wine?

Aeration is simply the act of introducing air to wine after it’s opened in order to promote oxidation and evaporation. When people swirl their glasses while tasting wine or decant it before consuming a bottle, they are aerating it.

Wine is made up of hundreds of compounds, and with aeration, the volatile undesirable compounds will generally evaporate faster than the desirable, aromatic and flavorful ones.

There are a few particular compounds that are reduced with aeration, such as sulfites, which are added to wine to prevent oxidation and microbial activity but can smell like burnt matchsticks, and sulfides, which are naturally occurring but can give hints of rotten eggs or onions.

Ethanol is also a highly volatile compound, and a wine that is high in alcohol and smells too a bit like rubbing alcohol when you first open it might lose the ethanol note and become more expressive with some aeration.

As the name suggests, an aerating wine pourer introduces air as you pour the wine and markedly improves the nose and taste of most wines.
